A friend of ours races one in Monoposto with us (although he missed Combe). He has the VW engine, and radial tyres, compared to our Toyota and Crossplies, as well having a year or two more experience. We'll both be at Mallory at the end of June, so it'll be interesting to compare speed
Edit: I should point out also that his car pulled 2.16g (probably instantaneous peak, so call it 2.0 sustained) at Brands a couple of weeks back. Not sure what our car is capable of on new tyres, but I'd expect at least 1.8g with my lack of experience. Mallory's first turn is long and fast, so who knows what the datalogger will 'see'.
It's surprising to see that old F1's are only worth £50k or so. That's a heck of a depreciation rate!
It costs around quarter million quid to build an F1, and another quarter million or so for the engine - if I remember my figures from that era correctly - add on the research costs and what a 'customer' would expect to pay (if such a thing existed) it would be several million per car. Now worth just £50k in 10 years... Show me one other car that holds it's value so poorly!
